BB Code Enhancements - Google maps BBCode

Hi all

I've made a Custom BBcode to be able to insert any kind of google map into the forum posts, so the Plugins I tried were'nt working as we expected.

I post the code, I hope it can be useful for anyone.

Security problems, improvements and tunning will be apreciated...

I used the tag [gmap], and inside you have to copy the code for the HTML inclusion you can copy when you click the link icon in the map:

<script type="text/javascript">
function ckURL()
  {   if ((u.indexOf("http://")!=u.lastIndexOf("http://"))||u.lastIndexOf("http://")!=0){return false;}
      if (u.indexOf('"')>=0) {return false;}
      if (u.indexOf("http://maps.google")!=0){return false;}
      return true;
  }

t='';incr=0;t_i="{param}";
t_n_q=t_i.replace(/&quot;/g,'"');

if(t_n_q.indexOf("91;url")>0)
{ if(t_n_q.indexOf('91;url="')>0){t=t_n_q.substr(t_n_q.indexOf('91;url="')+8,t_n_q.length);t_n_q='';}
  if(t_n_q.indexOf('91;url=')>0) {t=t_n_q.substr(t_n_q.indexOf('91;url=')+7,t_n_q.length);t_n_q='';a=t.replace(/93;/g,'"');t=a;incr=2;}
  if(t_n_q.indexOf('91;url')>0)  {if (t_n_q.indexOf('93;')==(t_n_q.indexOf('91;url')+8)){t=t_n_q.substr(t_n_q.indexOf('91;url')+11,t_n_q.length);a=t.replace(/91;/g,'"');t=a;}}
}
else
{ t=t_n_q.substr(t_n_q.indexOf('src="')+5,t_n_q.length);}
u=t.substr(0,t.indexOf('"')-incr);
up=u.replace(/amp;/g,'');u=up;

if (ckURL())
{ document.write('<iframe width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="'+u+'"></iframe>');}
else
{document.write("<p><b>Wrong map URL, edit the post to change it.</b></p>Reload the page when finished to check if correct.");}
</script>

The others settings for the BBCode are:

Use {option}: -> No
Remove Tag If Empty -> Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code -> Yes
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code -> Yes
Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code ->Yes

Please, mark as installed if it worked and you are using it.

Hope it helps!

Wasn't working in 3.8.4 after a recent update.

Re-added the code and it's great now.

I have installed and tested this in VB4 & it works fine

Hi,
works fine with vB4 but not with vB4 and vBSEO 3.5.2

Change:

<iframe width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="'+u+'"></iframe>

to

<iframe width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" rel="novbseo" src="'+u+'"></iframe>

and it keeps working.

Greetings
Christian

Google link with https not working.
Anyone know what to change in code so Google link with SSL protocol works too?

Here is example Google link location on Google map with http and with https:


HTTPS

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=45.811572,15.961533&amp;num=1&amp;t=h&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=10&amp;ll=45.814912,15.978514&amp;output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=45.811572,15.961533&amp;num=1&amp;t=h&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=10&amp;ll=45.814912,15.978514&amp;source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Prikaz veće karte</a></small>

HTTP

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.hr/maps?q=45.554449,16.295471&amp;num=1&amp;t=h&amp;hl=hr&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=10&amp;ll=45.411948,16.408081&amp;output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.hr/maps?q=45.554449,16.295471&amp;num=1&amp;t=h&amp;hl=hr&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=10&amp;ll=45.411948,16.408081&amp;source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Prikaz veće karte</a></small>

It seems like something changed from the Google side of things and the map doesnt work anymore.

The old links (already posted ones) still works fine but if i request a new link from Google , it won't work.

[Mellow]

You have to edit the link from:
[Gmap]<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f

to

[Gmap]<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f

and it will work, not sure what changes the BB code needs to work.

[Mellow]

I tried messing with the javascript but I'm far from an expert and didn't understand what some of it was doing. Someone w/more experience should be able to fix this for the current way Google is doing this and maybe even add an OR to support the previous way it was done.

[Mellow]

Simply removing the 1st 's' from the 1st 'https' will allow the script to work albeit not the best looking code. I just don't know how to do that so any help is appreciated.

[Sunka]

Yep, that is only temporary solution.
I put this problem on my forum if some user have skill in Javascript coding to find solution that code works with http and https protocol.

Any help here is welcome.
